You’ll notice that I have not expressed a view one way or the other about whether strict liability is a good or bad thing.
The two simple points I am trying to make are:
- make sure you know what it is before you decide it’s a bad thing;
- if you want it to go away, have your argument with the person who can make it go away.
If the impression given to folks like foyl and I Fly is accurate, CASA did not decide that strict liability would apply under the proposed regs. Apparently, AGs has made that decision. If that’s true, arguing with CASA about it is pissing into the wind. I am not aware of Professors Reason and Hudson ever having advocated pissing into the wind as a means by which to enhance safety.
